.you to luck Good

I can't think of a god way to do that. There is the REVERSE() function in SQL but it reverses the whole string. Is this just for fun?

What are you trying to achieve by doing this?

Writing a CLR function could be one way to do it.

Don't.
SQL has string handling which is - at best - poor.

Do that in your presentation language, where it's trivial. Leave SQL to do what it's best at - storing and retrieving data- and do string manipulation in languages which are designed for it!

For example, in C#, it's three lines of code!

C#

string[] words = lineOfText.Split(' ');
Array.Reverse(words);
string reversed = string.Join(" ", words);

OriginalGriff - basically - is right. Note that it's possible, even when the performance is poor (or nearly to poor)... ;)

If you want to reverse words in string, try this: SQL SERVER – Reverse String Word By Word[^]

try this!..

SQL

DECLARE @source VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @dest VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @lenght INT

SET @source = 'Today is sunday'
SET @dest = ''

WHILE LEN(@source) > 0
BEGIN
    IF CHARINDEX(' ', @source) > 0
    BEGIN
        SET @dest = SUBSTRING(@source,0,CHARINDEX(' ', @source)) + ' ' + @dest
        SET @source = LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(@source,CHARINDEX(' ', @source)+1,LEN(@source))))
    END
    ELSE
    BEGIN
        SET @dest = @source + ' ' + @dest
        SET @source = ''
    END
END
SELECT @dest
